Thanks for the reply. I would totally appreciate an exact quote tomorrow? I will not be able to control where the repair is done so cannot help you there, but would appreciate the reply. What about labor to replace? Thank-you!

No, I am referring to the lower metal on metal guards. Apparently, besides the guard there is also a dent on the body of the trailer near where the guards attach.

In that case, I would think his estimate is in the ball park. Dented aluminum panels generally need to be replaced , because the aluminum stretches and cannot be reformed. It seems as though someone's insurance should pay for it.

I had Jackson Centre replace a stainless rock guard on the front of our trailer about two years ago.

Actually only the bottom painted section which was riveted to the main stainless panel was damaged, but JC told me it would be cheaper just to replace the complete unit - I am pretty sure that as Andy has said a new part was no more than $400/

$2k would probably be about the price to replace a skin panel so maybe there is some confusion, but as you know the rock guards are just held on by hinges/brackets, very little labour involved.
